This summer, the Baltimore Jewelry Center is aiming to raise $65,000—and we need your support to make it happen! From June through September, we're hosting a vibrant series of monthly community events filled with creativity, connection, and fun.
Whether you're attending, participating, or simply spreading the word, every bit of support helps us reach our goal. Come be part of the excitement and help keep the BJC thriving—one dazzling event at a time.
Join us to kick off our fundraiser series with a bake sale on Friday, June 13th from 5-9pm during Station North's June Art Walk! Help us work toward our goal by indulging in some tasty treats made by members of our community!

Keep an eye out in the coming months for more details on other Summer Fundraiser events including a happy hour at Dutch Courage in July, BJC Flash at Red Thorn Tattoo in August, and Karaoke at Ottobar in September.
It's already June, and that means that summer classes are open for enrollment! At only 8 weeks long, summer is our shortest session of they year, but it's jam-packed with new skills and processes. With a range of exciting classes at a lower time commitment than our longer 12-week classes, summer is a great time to pick up something new, no matter what you're interested in. Looking to level up your bench skills? Take Introduction To Stone Setting with Adam Atkinson. Want to hone in on production techniques? Sign up for Earrings with Margo Csipo. Ready to tackle a new approach to surfaces? Try one of three different enameling classes being offered with Andy Lowrie.
With a range of workshops designed for beginning, experienced, and advanced makers, there's something new to learn for everybody at the BJC this summer.
Take a look at a few of our summer courses below and see the whole list on our website.
The end of our spring session is on the horizon, and that means there's only two more chances to take a weekend workshop before the session ends!
Even so, there's still a ton to learn before this session ends! Interested in picking up digital bench skills? Consider Ready, Set, CAD & Cast with Zach Mellman-Carsey. Ready to tackle a whole new approach to material? Try Strange Connections: Earrings In A Day with our current artist in residence, Chelsea Nanfelt Rowe. Check out our remaining Spring workshops and sign up on our website.

Step into a world where transformation is both visible and hidden. Survey | Surround invites viewers to explore a vibrant interplay between nature and human-made structures, where botanical and insect forms morph, camouflage, and reveal unexpected identities.
Survey | Surround will be on view through June 20.
